Where to begin. I dutifully ran an update to my Norton Subscription. After the update, several problems popped up to include the audio to my laptop being wiped out. I had to call Norton four times and spend hours on the phone before they eventually "escalated" the problem. I was advised that it would take 48 to 72 hours before they would call me back to resolve. Unfortunately, they called me once approx. 48 hours later when I was at a doctor's appointment. I contacted them back within 10 minutes but was eventually told it would be another 48 hours before they would try me back. I cannot conduct video teleconference calls while waiting on Norton, I am unable to work without a fully functional laptop. It is incredibly arrogant and irresponsible to make customers wait for days for a resolution. Norton360 is terrible and evidently, really doesn't care. I have recorded eight conversations spanning many hours of conversations with customer support that never accomplishes anything. They escalate and then tell you to wait days. I have not been able to work for days.

not sure why 2 copy and paste stated nothing
sounds like a driver as nathan peeters stated
i have never witnessed or read about any antivirus product causing a audio issue
i would suggest checking that your drivers and bios are all up todate
Sounds like a driver update.... Have you tried reverting the driver?

Hello EK Poole. If I may ask, do you have Software Updater and/or Driver Updater installed within your Norton product? And, did you run either of these add-on programs, the results were, audio being disabled? My reasoning for asking is, in all the years I have used Norton products I haven't ever experienced hardware not working as the result of running a live update on the product. Nor Norton doing updates automatically. Thanks in advance.
